One morning as I awoke
Oh Bella Ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao , ciao , ciao
One moring as I awoke
I met the invader

Partisan, take me away
Oh Bella Ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao , ciao , ciao
Partisan, take me away
I think I'm dying

I'm dying as a partisan
Oh Bella Ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao , ciao , ciao
I'm dying as a partisan
You must bury me

Bury me on top of the mountain
Oh Bella Ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao , ciao , ciao
Bury me on top of the mountain
By my body a flower will grow

When the people pass by
Oh Bella Ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao , ciao , ciao
When the people pass by
They will talk about the beautiful flower

This is the flower of the partisan
Oh Bella Ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao , ciao , ciao
This is the flower of the partisan
He who died for freedom

(We sing the last bit in Italian, it's just the last lines repeated.)
This is the flower of the partisan
He who died for freedom
